Woods Walker
The Wood is cut, The Bacon is cooked, Now it’s tim
I am too busy for long dissertations so for the most part will let the photos do the talking. Maybe a short description here and there. The cold snap looked nice. Planed on Friday through Tuesday but got Saturday through Tuesday. Good enough.
Go!
Camp First night.
The "Sacred Bacon".
Next day needed wood and water.
Not really enough snow to melt and getting water was a challenge. In fact a bit dangerous.
Watering hole.
Getting kinda cold. The cold air pooled up in the valley. The overcast sky turned crystal clear at night creating a radiational cooling event as I expected.
Hungarian meats.
Field testing new kit for upcoming ultimate sub 50 dollar solar charging bugout/hiking/whatever system.
Fire being sucked up the pipe by the draft.
Stack robber.
Another day and it's cranking cold clear. The best part was the wind. Not crazy but enough to add an edge to the brisk temps.
The water situation was getting a bit sporty as the rivers (two in the area) freeze up.
The old watering hole frozen over but only an inch so found a rock (not frozen to the ground which was a pain) and smashed a hole. The rock slipped and can be seen on the bottom. A few feet past this spot the water deepens and is moving fast. If the ice gives way a person cold be sucked under. So never walk out on the ice in a situation like this. You risk death.
Wood for the win! My camp runs on wood, water and power. The wood and water are interchangeable as the wood stove is keeping my water liquid and potable.
The liner drapes to the ground adding a double wall which is both anti draft and helps create and inner bubble of heat.
Home made red lentil soup.
On Tuesday this ship is ready to sail
This time packed the sled with a lower center of gravity.
Here are two videos which are part 1 and 2.
Thanks for looking!
